My experience...

Deutsches Marinemuseum

The first time I was here in 2001, I firts saw a small but real u-boot and not only outside but inside. It was so fantastic! Since then I always visit the u-boot if there is one in the town I'm in.

Wilhelmshaven is quiet a nice town, but it's not famous about its beauty.

There are very intersting museums in Wilhelmshaven (Oceanis, Deutsches Marinemuseum, Aquarium Wilhelmshaven) that are worth to visit.

Last visit to Wilhelmshaven: Aug 2002

I am fan of naval museums but I did not know this one. I won't forget to visit it when I will go to northern Germany.

Very nice page that you have shared on Wilhelmshaven! I would like to visit the museum and see the U-boats.

Must admit I never considered a naval museum could be so interesting. Your excellent photos give an idea of the size and might of a naval power. Your fascination with the sea shows in some of your travels.
